Hi, I’m Victoria - Canadian born and currently based in Wellington, New Zealand.

I'm passionate about caring for both homes and the animals that live in them. If you're seeking someone who will treat your home / pet with the same level of care and attention you would, I'd love to help.

I'm a single, non-smoking/non-vaping woman with a caring, reliable nature and years of experience that home and pet owners can feel confident in.

I bring maturity, flexibility, and an attentive eye for detail to every house sitting assignment. Having managed homes of all sizes and styles, I understand the importance of respecting your space and maintaining the routines that keep things running smoothly.

With extensive house sitting experience in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the UK - and a solid background in pet care including managing pet stores, volunteer dog walking with the SPCA, and earning my Animal Care Aide certificate—I bring a trustworthy, dependable, and loving presence to every home I care for. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your space—and your pets. Your animals will be cared for with love, patience, and plenty of experience.

Pets are a big part of why I do what I do—whether your pets need a structured routine, loads of affection, or gentle care due to age or anxiety, I’ve likely seen it before and handled it with kindness.

I take great pride in keeping your home clean, safe and secure. I’m attentive to the little details, and I’m just as happy walking an energetic dog as I am watering your plants and making sure the bins go out on time. Whether you're heading away for a weekend or a longer adventure - I’ll keep your home running smoothly and make sure everything’s just as you left it (or better) when you return.

I find that it generally works best for clients and myself to get in touch beforehand (whether by phone, video chat or in person) to make sure it's the right fit and to talk through specific needs.

Please don't worry that I am not currently in the same city as you. With the introduction of video calls, it's as good as being in person and if I'm arriving from another city/country to your home, I always ensure that I have a few extra days up my sleeve for the start and end of the sit.

I am new to Pawshake so don't currently have any reviews. If you make contact I can provide you with written references, as well as provide names and numbers if you'd like to speak directly to any of them.

I’d love to connect and learn more about what matters to you most regarding the care of your pets and your home.

Warm regards,

Victoria 🐾
